Keep Mosquitoes Away, Naturally

Keep Mosquitoes Away, NaturallyPosted by Marisa Belger on June 6, 2006 - 3:28pm.

It's only early June and I've already been beaten (and eaten) by a couple of ambitious mosquitoes. I chased them down unsuccessfully and woke up the next morning with their signature red, itchy welts on my legs and feet. While I've had moderate success with natural insect repellents - made from nothing more than citronella oil, cedarwood oil, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, eucalyptus oil, and water, Quantum receives Skin Deep's approval - I'm most interested in a non-toxic solution to the mosquito-heavy barbeques I suffer through each year. Specifically, is there a way to decrease the mosquito-to-human ratio present in my parents' New England backyard every summer?
